SuperSystem 4th: Almost Ready For Play-tests [Latest Link on pg. 13 --3/21/2014]

Scott,

Question on Growth, if I had a hero with 5 STR and 5 TOU, with two levels of Growth, he goes to 7 STR abd 7 TOU. I would have to buy Super x1 for both STR and TOU?

Density Increase gives you a level of Super x1 to cover the stat bump while the power is working. If the above is a yes, then perhaps Growth needs to be considered?

Yes, as it stands you'd need to buy Super-Attributes to support them.  We'll look at this. Thanks!

Cool, guess you could always tag the stats "Always When ....." mod for the power.

p 118-119 for the Shield Slinger template...looks like it should be Vitality 10....you noted +2 Vitality after RES, but you are adding both +1 STR and TOU, which would be another (+1 vitality on top of the +2).

A link to 5 minutes of me talking about the Secret Origin of SuperSystem!  I can't think of a better way to kill 5 minutes of work time!

Looking forward to this KS even if I don't play much Supers now or in the future.. Have SS 2nd Hardcopy and SS 3rd Softcopy (really wanted hardcopy but that is life...) and the progress/change is interesting to watch.

Gracias,

Glenn

Edit:  at least I won't be forever receiving miniatures (Arc Worlde and Itar's Workshop (admittedly a very big order,) I am still waiting.  The Russian Woman Combat Pilot thing is suffering from typical Russian/ex-Soviet  bureaucracy bullshit.  Andrew Maye did a awesome job of delivery.  Ditto Kiery's VBlog, The McKrakken Gnomes for my wife, Robert Angell's VSF heavy weapons, and the Bug Hunt Corridors.

Thanks, Glenn!  I think you will be able to use these rules for all sorts of gaming.  Moving forward any games I design will use this set as their base.

I have Chaos in Carpathia which I believe is the Goalsystem gaming also?

So will this be the base for more CAOS IN CARPATHIA/CAIRO/CHRONO/etc., type game sets?

No.  Not necessarily.  Lee Howard has taken up stewardship of the Chaos series, and he will likely keep to the older version of the system, which is fine.  I've given permission to certain friends of mine (Joe, Lee) to develop Goalsystem games in whatever direction they want to take them. 

That core mechanic, rolling a bunch of D6's and looking for 4+, remains a constant, but all the other stuff is subject to what they want to do. 

Thanks!

Alternate Form to Escape Artist not not in BOLD. After that all the power titles are.
